In an interview with CNBC last week, Disney CEO Bob Iger said that a Disney+ password-sharing crackdown will begin in June in the U.S. and in September in other countries.
Meanwhile, after streaming rival Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) began its enforcement of password-sharing restrictions last spring, there was a jump in signups, CNN reported, and 100,000 new accounts signed up in the first two days, per data from Antenna.
"Netflix is the gold standard in streaming" Iger said in the CNBC interview. "They've done a phenomenal job and a lot of different directions. I actually have very, very high regard for what they've accomplished. If we can only accomplish what they've accomplished, that would be great."
